The owner

owner speaks out

I had a wonderful childhood in my childhood home. When my father moved out, I decided to give our beautiful mansion one last salute of honour. It is a house over a hundred years old, with an equally old soul. By renovating it with a lot of love and care, I also put a piece of my own soul into it. In this way, I wanted to breathe new life into it and make it completely ready for a new future with new owners. It is my ultimate thanksgiving, and I hope the next residents may become as happy here as I have been.
